Tufts Environmental Studies Nancy W. Anderson Award Recipient - A systems thinker, founder of the Northeast Healthy Soil Network, and an Attorney licensed in VT & CT.

My North Star is the manifestation of Protopian communities, islands of resilience in seas of late stage capitalist collapse, that more easefully nourish human communities, whilst connecting them intimately with their plant kin and ecological spirit of their place. I am a convert from global governance (UN level) to Northeast bioregional level climate resilience strategist. I enjoy being in service to stakeholders actualizing the implementation of regenerative food systems and local economies in our bioregion. My JD/Masters focuses spanned dynamic federalism in conservation agriculture programming, the adoption of adaptive management and nested commons governance by State-to-local government actors - a strategy capable of manifesting infrastructure of the next economy - and the integration of Tribal Partnerships into climate resilience development strategies, manifesting the Third Way of indigenous cultural protection.
